It's not the rendering. It's
the studio crit.
ID students don't fail because their CAD is wrong; they fail when studio identifies generic forms, missed history, or work that doesn't engage the canon. AskSia tightens those.
For my residential studio I uploaded my schematic plans and got feedback grounded in space planning principles I had been studying. The instructor used my revision as the example.
The portfolio helper structured my projects with concept, process, and final sections. Cleaned up four studios in a weekend. Two ID firms responded for portfolio reviews.
